Canada – catching on to the idea of Eco Homes!

Imagine a house made with sand, cans and old tires that helps reduce your bills.

This is becoming reality in Canada, where a home powered by the wind and the sun is being built entirely from recycled materials.

With energy prices and the cost of housing increasing, more people are looking for green alternatives to traditional homes.

Overall this has become a whole new way of property development out there with people looking to adapt to the way their housing market is evolving. From this it will be interesting to see how other countries across the world may follow suit.

I love these houses but they are not that new, there was one featured on Grand Designs on Channel 4 some years ago. It was built in France as planning permission was not granter in Britain. There is a company building them now called Earthship.
